The Woman From Hell

The moment he said that, more and more people started complaining. "Yeah. The last time both of us took a fancy to a project at the same time, we fought for three nights but still ended up not being able to surpass Grant Corporation. You said yourself that he should be left to walk his own path. Why should he fight with us?"

"Tell me about it. I think Theo is trying to monopolize the industry."

"How can this be allowed? We’ve been in Whaldorf City for more than ten years. Theo has only just arrived here, how can he beat us? What dignity will we have if this were to continue?!"

They were outraged and this allowed me to see their hearts clearly.

At this time, many complained so much that spittle flew and some of them were even familiar faces. They often worked with Theo and were usually polite toward him. I did not expect them to say all this behind Theo’s back. It was really annoying.

I shook my head helplessly, and simply glanced to the side instead of looking at the faces of these people.

Matthew's voice sounded in my ears. “Do you think people's hearts are sinister? You probably didn't expect Theo to be so hated."

I did not respond to his words, but I knew that my expression had betrayed me.

Theo probably did not expect this either. He wanted to expand Grant Corporation’s business and had stolen these people’s profits. That was why they were complaining about Theo. It was a matter of strength after all.

Matthew raised his hand and calmed the people below. He was all smiling. "Since everyone has the same goal, we must work together happily in the future."

"President Zimmer, you hate Theo so much, could it be because of this beauty?" The man gave me a look after saying that.

Matthew did not deny it. He laughed. "I want both beauty and Kallan, but don't worry. I just want to bring down Theo. As for the rest, I'm not interested."

"Then, we will go with your arrangement, President Zimmer."

Perhaps they saw YA’s prosperity and so had confidence in Matthew.

The banquet was still going on, but Matthew and I were heading back to the building from before. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I was sitting on the sofa, the scene just now filling my mind. The faces of those people who had been discussing Theo discomfited me. Suddenly, a hand covered the back of my own. "I suppose you’re cold."

When I heard Matthew's voice, I quickly pulled my hand back, but then a black jacket was draped over me. Concern filled his tone. "Take care of your body."

It was indeed a cold night. Instead of rejecting this jacket, I wrapped myself up in it. If I were to get sick now, I would be the only one to suffer.

"Matthew, do you have to do this?" I raised my eyes and looked at him. Voice soft, I said, "There will only be two outcomes if you do this, either Theo loses or you."

No matter which side loses, it would be a complete loss and there would be no way out.

Matthew looked at me. There was a smile on the corners of his lips. "I already made the decision before I came back. I must fight Theo. I want both his career and his love."

His eyes gleamed with determination, as if he was bound to win.

I knew that Matthew was beyond help so, I sneered and said, "Even if you can get his career, you won’t get his love. I will only be with Theo. It doesn’t matter if he has everything or nothing, I will stay with him.”

My affirmation stunned Matthew for a moment but I paid no attention to him. I returned the coat to him before getting up and heading toward the door. I wonder what expression Matthew was wearing now, it must be pretty ugly.
